Hollywood legend Nicolas Cage has revealed that several major directors stopped reaching out to him after he turned down their project offers. Among those on his “don’t call me back” list are Christopher Nolan, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Woody Allen.
Cage notably passed on a role in Nolan’s Insomnia and cited past near-misses with Anderson. He noted that David O. Russell is a rare exception who maintained a professional relationship, eventually casting him in the upcoming Madden biopic arriving this Thanksgiving.
